With DVD RegionCode Unlock a non-administrative user is given access to set the DVD region code the first time they insert a DVD.
Use this simple install on the computer(s) to allow a user to set the region code once (without requiring an administrator password).
This will not allow them to set it once; after the region code is set once, it will again require an administrator password, thus preventing all 5 regions from being used up. Simple as that.

This software does NOT Unlock the Region Code on your DVD drive. It does the opposite. It sets the Region Code. You can only change the Region Code up to 5 times. This software does NOT get around this limitation.
Then you are probably asking "why do you need it?" Well, you may not have remembered but the first time you tried to play a DVD on your Mac, your Mac asks you to set the Region Code of the drive. But you need to supply the admin account name and password. This software lets you set the Region Code without the need of an admin account name and password. This is probably NOT a big deal for home users (since you are likely to set the Region Code once and NEVER change it). But it might be a real pain for corporations and universities etc. This software may help in this situation.
If you really want to UNLOCK your drive from the stupid Region Code DRM so you can watch DVDs that you bought legally overseas, you need to do TWO things. Replace the firmware on your drive and use a free Program callled Region X. Search for "Region X" on Google or MacUpdate.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, I guess this news will break the hearts of those ten million Mac users who badly want to alter their RPC1 DVD drives (but can't!) to circumvent the hateful DRM restrictions that prevent us from playing our entire DVD collections. I have hundreds of DVDs I've purchased in South America, Europe and the USA, and I need to buy three separate DVD drives to play them all. It makes me want to punch the greedy SOBs in the entertainment industry who cooked up this abominable scheme to limit access to our legaland legitimate DVD purchases. Personally, I've decided to stop buying commercial DVDs altogether and download as many torrents as I can find, so that the industry will realize that they've cut off their noses to spite their double-chinned faces. I hope everybody else does too.

You can infact look at the code if you open the package. It's a pretty simple line. This can help to deploy to many machines, perhaps through Apple Remote Desktop (or my upcoming coreDaemon software) to multiple machines; saving support time.

This sound very dangerous to me.
